Tick, tick, tick is the clock on the wall
Nobody visits and nobody calls
Nothing but me and the breeze living here
Drip, drip, drip is the tap in the sink
It's driving me mad and I can't help but think
Even the water feels it oughta run and disappear, yeah
Oh, these are the sounds of an empty house
Not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse
And the more that you listen, the more you don't want to hear
So I lie awake 'til the night is done
It's a symphony of silence, a rising sun
The refrigerator rattles, a corner lamp buzzes in my ear
And these are the sounds of an empty house right here
♪
If it ain't the birds and if it ain't the rain
The wind blows a branch onto my window pain
And now it sounds like a lost dog scratching at my door
I hear feet on the floor and the people upstairs
Dancing on my roof and they don't seem to care
But it's only since you've gone, I swear it wasn't there before
Oh, these are the sounds of an empty house
Not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse
The more that you listen, the more you don't want to hear
So I lie awake 'til the night is done
It's a symphony of silence, a rising sun
The refrigerator rattles, a corner lamp buzzes in my ear
And these are the sounds of an empty house right here
